Bayesian Methods for Structural Dynamics and Civil Engineering.

Bayesian Methods for Structural Dynamics and Civil Engineering.

Bayesian methods are a powerful tool in many areas of science and engineering, especially statistical physics, medical sciences, electrical engineering, and information sciences. They are also ideal for civil engineering applications, given the numerous types of modeling and parametric uncertainty i...
